If You Are Here, Your Heart is Hurting … and I Want You to Know: You Are Not Alone.

Grief is one of the deepest and most profound experiences we face. And losing your spouse can turn that grief into shock and totally up-end your life. It can feel like a storm that won’t pass, a heaviness that makes even the simplest tasks seem overwhelming. Some days, it’s unbearable. Other days, it’s quieter—but always there, just beneath the surface.

Maybe you’ve found yourself asking:

• 💔 “Will I ever feel like myself again?”

• 💔 “Why does this hurt so much, even when I thought I was doing ‘better’?”

• 💔 “Is it normal to feel lost… angry… numb?”

• 💔 “How do I move forward when I still miss him so much?”

I want to gently remind you: There is no “right way” to grieve. But there is a way to navigate this journey with tenderness, understanding, and even—one day—peace.

What is being Said about Coaching with Dr. Marlene ...

“Dr. Marlene possesses outstanding professional skills, compassion, integrity, and a dedication toward gently guiding her clients toward goal success with care and empathy.” — J.T.

What Grief Really Is (And What It’s Not)

Grief is not just sadness. It’s not something you simply “get over.” It’s not linear, and it certainly doesn’t follow a predictable timeline.

Grief is love, transformed. It’s the natural response to loss—the ache of missing someone who meant the world to you. And while it can feel unbearable, grief is also a testament to the depth of your love.

You might feel…

• Overwhelmed, like waves of emotion come and go without warning.

• Numb, as if your emotions have shut down to protect you from the pain.

• Angry—at the world, at the unfairness of loss, even at your loved one for leaving.

• Confused or lost, struggling to make sense of a world that now feels unfamiliar.

All of this is normal. And all of it is survivable—with the right support, understanding, and space to heal in your own way.
